| 9 | |
| 10 | ### Core Web Vitals |
| 11 | - **LCP (Largest Contentful Paint)**: Target < 2.5s |
| 12 | - Image optimization (WebP, AVIF, responsive images) |
| 13 | - Font loading strategies (preload, font-display: swap) |
| 14 | - Server response time optimization |
| 15 | - Critical rendering path optimization |
| 16 | |
| 17 | - **FID/INP (First Input Delay / Interaction to Next Paint)**: Target < 100ms |
| 18 | - JavaScript bundle splitting |
| 19 | - Third-party script management |
| 20 | - Event handler optimization |
| 21 | - Main thread work reduction |
| 22 | |
| 23 | - **CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift)**: Target < 0.1 |
| 24 | - Image dimension specifications |
| 25 | - Font loading without FOUT/FOIT |
| 26 | - Dynamic content placeholders |
| 27 | - Animation performance |
| 28 | |
| 29 | ### Bundle Optimization |
| 30 | - Code splitting strategies |
| 31 | - Tree shaking effectiveness |
| 32 | - Dynamic imports for route-based splitting |
| 33 | - Dependency audit and optimization |
| 34 | - Bundle analyzer usage (`@next/bundle-analyzer`) |
| 35 | |
| 36 | ### Next.js Specific |
| 37 | - Server Components vs Client Components balance |
| 38 | - Streaming and Suspense boundaries |
| 39 | - Image component optimization |
| 40 | - Font optimization with `next/font` |
| 41 | - Static generation vs server rendering decisions |
| 42 | - Edge runtime considerations |
| 43 | |
| 44 | ### Caching Strategies |
| 45 | - Static asset caching headers |
| 46 | - API response caching |
| 47 | - Incremental Static Regeneration (ISR) |
| 48 | - CDN configuration (Vercel Edge) |
| 49 | |
| 50 | ## Performance Audit Checklist |
| 51 | |
| 52 | ### Images |
| 53 | - [ ] All images use `next/image` component |
| 54 | - [ ] WebP/AVIF formats with fallbacks |
| 55 | - [ ] Responsive srcset configured |
| 56 | - [ ] Lazy loading for below-fold images |
| 57 | - [ ] Priority loading for LCP images |
| 58 | - [ ] Blur placeholders for perceived performance |
| 59 | |
| 60 | ### JavaScript |

| 62 | - [ ] No unused dependencies |
| 63 | - [ ] Dynamic imports for heavy components |
| 64 | - [ ] Third-party scripts loaded async/defer |
| 65 | - [ ] No blocking scripts in head |
| 66 | |
| 67 | ### CSS |

| 69 | - [ ] Unused CSS removed |
| 70 | - [ ] No render-blocking stylesheets |
| 71 | - [ ] Tailwind purge configured correctly |
| 72 | |
| 73 | ### Fonts |
| 74 | - [ ] Using `next/font` for optimization |
| 75 | - [ ] Font subsetting enabled |
| 76 | - [ ] `font-display: swap` applied |
| 77 | - [ ] Preloading critical fonts |
| 78 | |
| 79 | ### Server |

| 81 | - [ ] Compression enabled (gzip/brotli) |
| 82 | - [ ] HTTP/2 or HTTP/3 enabled |
| 83 | - [ ] Edge caching configured |
| 84 | |
| 85 | ## Tools & Commands |
| 86 | |
| 87 | ```bash |
| 88 | # Run Lighthouse audit |
| 89 | npx lighthouse https://frankx.ai --output=json --output-path=./lighthouse-report.json |
| 90 | |
| 91 | # Analyze bundle |
| 92 | ANALYZE=true npm run build |
| 93 | |
| 94 | # Check bundle sizes |
| 95 | npx @next/bundle-analyzer |
| 96 | |
| 97 | # Performance trace |
| 98 | npm run build && npm run start |
| 99 | # Then use Chrome DevTools Performance tab |
| 100 | ``` |
| 101 | |
| 102 | ## Performance Targets |
| 103 | |
| 104 | | Metric | Target | Acceptable | Poor | |
| 105 | |--------|--------|------------|------| |
| 106 | | LCP | < 2.5s | < 4.0s | > 4.0s | |
| 107 | | FID/INP | < 100ms | < 300ms | > 300ms | |
| 108 | | CLS | < 0.1 | < 0.25 | > 0.25 | |
| 109 | | TTFB | < 200ms | < 600ms | > 600ms | |
| 110 | | Lighthouse Perf | > 90 | > 70 | < 70 | |
| 111 | |
| 112 | ## Common Issues & Fixes |
| 113 | |
| 114 | ### Slow LCP |
| 115 | 1. Check if LCP element is an image → add `priority` prop |
| 116 | 2. Check server response time → enable caching |
| 117 | 3. Check for render-blocking resources → defer/async |
| 118 | |
| 119 | ### High CLS |
| 120 | 1. Add explicit width/height to images |
| 121 | 2. Reserve space for dynamic content |
| 122 | 3. Avoid inserting content above existing content |
| 123 | |
| 124 | ### Poor INP |
| 125 | 1. Break up long tasks with `requestIdleCallback` |
| 126 | 2. Use Web Workers for heavy computation |
| 127 | 3. Debounce/throttle event handlers |
| 128 | |
